Tis the season. The annual grand Buffalo tradition, in which Bills fans' thoughts turn to daydreaming about the first round of the draft.
Except this year, we don't even get to daydream.
Yesterday's game took a giant highlighter to Doug Whaley's MASSIVE mishandling of the draft.
As good as Sammy Watkins is, he is basically useless with two horrendous QBs throwing to him. And while it may have been excusable to trade, say maybe, an extra 3rd rounder in order to move up and grab him, no Wide Receiver in the history of this league is worth what the Bills payed for Watkins, especially in the absence of a competent QB.
This has, no doubt, dawned on Terry Pegula, as he is first and foremost, a fan.
There is no first rounder next year. So not only do we have no QB, we have to settle for the misfit toys who fall to the second round, and guess what? At present, the guy who is poised to make the choices in next year's draft is the guy who made the situation FUBAR in the first place.
Granted, Whaley didn't technically pick Manuel, but he had major input, and then he doubled down by not acquiring a backup until the day before the season started, and tripled down by spending two first rounders and a fourth rounder on a Wide Receiver.
So, when Terry Pegula starts to think about a QB riding in on a white horse to save the franchise, he needs to look at the man responsible for this mess and give him a boxed lunch and a bus ticket out of town.
And he needs to send Marrone and Brandon away with him.
This organization has the stench of CAN'T.
It needs to be stripped down to the bones and built back up the same way that Pegula is doing it with the Sabres.
FIRE EVERYONE.
